Aston Villa makes history with 15th consecutive home win, surpassing century-old record

Posted : 11 December 2023

Aston Villa broke a nearly century-old record by securing their 15th consecutive home league win at Villa Park, surpassing the previous 14-game streak set in 1931. Despite an unimpressive performance, Villa managed to defeat Arsenal 1-0, with goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez making crucial saves.

 

The victory follows their impressive 1-0 win against Manchester City, where Villa exhibited phenomenal pressure in the midfield. Manager Unai Emery, who took charge just over a year ago, has transformed the team into serious contenders, currently sitting in third place, two points clear of league leaders Liverpool.

 

Emery's impact was evident in Villa's record-breaking streak, including victories against reigning champions Manchester City and last season's runners-up Arsenal. The team's defensive organization, high pressure, and quality performances have caught the attention of pundits and opponents alike.

 

Despite Emery's initial declaration that Villa wasn't a top-four contender, their recent successes have propelled them into the top three, challenging for a Champions League spot. Ollie Watkins, the lone striker under Emery's guidance, has been prolific with eight goals already, showcasing the manager's ability to maximize player potential.

 

Emery's decision to leave Villarreal for Villa, despite financial considerations, was driven by personal and professional motivations. Unfinished business in the Premier League, following his departure from Arsenal in 2019, fueled his desire to prove himself.

 

Additionally, he recognized the potential within Villa's squad, retaining players like John McGinn, who flourished under his management. Emery's tactical adjustments and faith in his players have paid off, with Villa's adventurous style earning them valuable points. The challenge now is to sustain their momentum and secure a coveted Champions League berth, a remarkable achievement for a team that was near the relegation zone just over a year ago.
